    If the code we speak of is in its own .php file, and this is the entire code, then make sure it starts with <?php and ends with ?>

    Well, unless the server is hiding them, you're getting no errors, so the variables should exist, but appear to be blank. What does the 'name' input of your form look like?

    Something similar to:

    <INPUT type="text" name="name" />

    ???


    And, if you don't mind, can you post your form code?

    I posted an bad response since I got a few peeps' issues going thru my head, and it was inaccurate for yours, srry.

    For some testing, mind taking the onblur, onfocus, and onclick items from simply your name box and see if that helps? The code looks fine, so it must be a tricky thing.

    I figured it out. The issues is in the enctype="text/plain" part of your form tag. I removed it and all worked fine.

    My version:
    http://projects.hellzoneinc.com/devs...anksubmit.html

    The PHP processing code the form is submitted to:

    Yep. If you've no true reason to really define such, which in this case it seems you have not, then you can safely remove it and all will be good.
